Preparation and Identification of a Monoclonal Antibody Against Cystatin C.

This study describes the preparation, application, and characterization of monoclonal antibodies used in ELISA. The antibodies were developed by PEG fusion of the SP2/0 cells with splenic B cells from Cys C immunized BALB/c mice. Antibody-producing cells were identified by ELISA and Western blot analysis. By way of cloning and screening, four hybridoma cell lines were established. Simultaneously large-scale monoclonal antibodies produced in mice ascites were prepared. The results showed that the cell clone 8D12 could be used in immunohistochemical staining. With the ELISA additivity test, we got a preliminarily finding that the monoclonal antibodies were not on the same epitope. The antibody matching test showed that 5D7 and 7A8 successfully paired with 8D12, and the optimal reaction conditions were initially identified. PMID: 26492621 [PubMed - in process]
